Flow in a 65G LPS/Softie Reef - Koralias?

[dylanjs]

I'm thinking of getting one Koralia #2 and one #3 for opposite ends of the tank (mounted on the back pointed towards the front) for my 65g LPS/Softie reef tank. The #2 is rated at 600GPH and the #3 at 850GPH. The return is split one pointing at the front of the tank and the other pointing right.

I have a lot of sponges and gorgonians, so flow is important.

Is this too much flow? Too little? Too imbalanced? I figure that crossing the #2 with the return will cause some good turbulence.

(Does anyone with Koralia experience want to comment....)

Thanks!

for sponges i would say the more flow the better.. i have a 55 gallon sps mixed reef with about 1700gph water movement

Get 2 Koralia 3s.

The koralia recall kinda freaked me out...more than the Tunze rust issue, at least...so I just ordered a Tunze Nano 6045. I'm going to order a single controller and 6055 when I can afford it. :wink1:
